that_o there_o be_v various_a station_n in_o religion_n and_o so_o some_o be_v near_o and_o some_o further_o off_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n some_o be_v seek_v it_o with_o their_o face_n

other_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o christ_n jesus_n as_o the_o apostle_n and_o many_o believer_n or_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o
